I've been driving a Borgward BX5 for several years, and the little wrench light indicating service due is a common occurrence. Resetting it is actually quite simple, just follow the steps: First, completely turn off the car and rotate the key to the OFF position; then locate the small mileage display button on the right side of the dashboard and hold it down; next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine; at this point, observe the small wrench icon on the dashboard start flashing, wait about ten seconds until it goes out, then quickly release the button; finally, turn the key off and on again to check if the warning has disappeared. If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times or check if the button has poor contact. This reset operation can save you a trip to the dealership, while also reminding everyone to change the oil and perform regular checks promptly to avoid accelerated wear and tear on the car.

As a daily driver, I've encountered the BX5's wrench light a few times, which felt quite bothersome. The reset method is simple: after parking, turn the key completely off and press the trip reset button at the top left of the dashboard with your finger; then turn the key to the second position without starting the engine, watch the dashboard until the wrench light flashes and disappears; release the button and you're done. I do this after every maintenance, and the next reminder is accurate. If the light keeps coming on, it might be a system false alarm or a button issue, so it's advisable to also check the battery voltage. Regular maintenance is crucial for extending engine life—the reset is just a reminder mechanism, so don't be afraid to do it yourself; it saves both hassle and money.
